they warned me that i cannot want you.
mother told me wanting you would get me hurt.
father told me wanting you would get me scarred.
you told me wanting you would get me killed.
foolish heart,
do you think i do not know?
i have known from the moment that i laid eyes upon you
and the devouring void in my chest woke up
and named itself wanting
and stretched
and stretched
and never stopped stretching
that you would be the death of me.
foolish heart, i am not afraid.
it was always going to get me killed,
this life of mine
this life of yours
this life of ours.
and if you are going to be the death of me
( you are, you are, you are )
i would rather die for wanting you
than die for hating you.
i would rather die for the hope of having you
than die for the fear of having you.
be my sun, my winds, my ocean
and i will make myself icarus
and i will find my joy in your blinding light
and i will find my freedom in your touch
and i will find my death in your waiting arms.
and you can melt me down like a candle under the flame
or you can cast me about like a leaf in the skies
or you can swallow me whole like a memory.
i will still be yours
and wanting
and wanting
and wanting.

Do you ever think about how "I have no idea what's gonna happen next, but whatever it is, I think we should work together. I think it'll be easier if we're a team."
is both so poetic and so euphemistic because that boy is not talking about solutions and battles that boy is talking about LOVE.
He wants it to come across, or at least have some plausible deniability that it's, "us not working together will just make the hell storm about to rain down harder" but really it's
"If I die tomorrow, I want you to be by my side; I won't be as scared"
They were already working together. Will forgave him and was acting normal. It was going to be "easier" and there was no obstacle for that. He just wanted to say "I love you" without saying I love you. In season 4, he's already fighting to say "I love you" to El while fighting NOT to say it to Will. Look at him, he's finding work arounds on both sides.
Something about the phrase "I have no idea what's gonna happen next"[but I want you to be there] is just so romantic. Elevated from anything. Beyond "whatever happens next will be bad let's face it together you and me against the world". It's
"I want to jump into the unknown with you"

one night when
i was a little kid,
i was sitting outside
and a moth flew full speed
straight into my forehead
and died on impact;
which in retrospect is
one of the funniest things
that has ever happened to me,
but at the time it was horrible.
i remember crying when
its corpse fell into my lap.
death has been following me
and trying to get into my head
since i was a very young.

Dean looks down at his lap and notices the little mountain of paper pieces that he has created there, his hands nervously tearing up into small pieces the brochure the bubbly young girl that welcomed them at the door gave him when they got to the bar.
Castiel, who was apparently talking to Dean, he doesn't know what about, because he wasn't paying attention, follows his gaze down and, slowly, pries the last remnants of what is left of the bright yellow brochure from Dean's hands.
"Dean, is everything okay?" Dean nods giving Cas a smile that he hopes is convincing enough, and judging by the way Castiel stares at him it probably isn't.
Get a grip man, he tells himself, what are you, fifteen?
Nervous, he is nervous, because he thought this whole night out for Cas and Cas is important and he refuses to let this be anything but perfect. Like he can control every little thing, like he can't accept he actually can't do that.
He takes Cas out on dates now, because they are part of the human experience, because secretly he had always yearned for the chance to do normal things like that with someone he loved, even tough he never thought he could love so much, so fiercely, so openly as he loves his Cas. They spend so much time together nowadays and Dean loves it, but he felt every activity was too much Dean and not enough Castiel. Even if they enjoy similar things and Castiel doesn't seem to mind what they do that much, Dean put all his energy into finding something that they could share but that could mean something more for Cas.
He found this amateur poetry reading night, and he thought, why not? He convinced himself, and then his brain went and gave him a list of why not's while he drove them here.
"I just want this to be good, that's all, okay?" He finally confesses, because Cas is still staring, tone light, as if he wasn't that worried, not at all.
Castiel's eyes soften at that, he puts away the ruined brochure and reaches for one of Dean's hands, interlacing their fingers together, the movement almost causing the pieces of paper mountain to crumble down.
"If it isn't," he says, apparently reading Dean like the open book he is to him these days, "it won't be your fault, I will still appreciate your thoughtfulness, and I will still appreciate the time we spend together."
Dean doesn't even know what he was worrying about, this is Castiel, he reminds himself. He made his way throughout Hell just to get him, to help him, to protect him, to be by his side, over and over again. He can survive two hours of shitty poetry, if it's even shitty. Maybe Dean is judging these strangers too harshly. He squeezes Castiel's hands, unable to say anything since the lights are turning off and people are clapping around them for the first person taking the stage.
Half an hour later Dean decides it isn't boring, nor is it awful, his brain can suck it up. He hasn't let go of Castiel's hand yet, and it isn't in his plans to do so any time soon either.
Struck me like a bolt of lightning,
brought my heart back back to life
The man on stage reads out loud, and Dean, Dean simply turns to look at Cas, watching his focused profile,
the brightness of this light of yours,
fighting off the gloom of this shadow of mine.
Castiel turns to look at him then, mouthing an I love you at him that Dean leans in to whisper right back at him.

POISON AND ROT
Something’s rotten in the world
Some twisted sickness has spread
It creeps upon the unsuspecting
The innocent, the downtrodden,
And tears from them all colour
All freedom to create
And rips from them their choices,
Their childish wonder.
And when the poison of it all spreads
And children see no point
In little games and funny jokes
And adults can’t see colour
Cannot pick up a pencil and create
When a mere doodle becomes history
And a tune is naught but heresy
And questions are a sin,
We will walk the barren earth
Which they salted with our tears,
And gaze upon the sky,
The stars they have long taken,
And the fires spread
As they always should
And the shouting starts
As it always should
And the people gather
as they always should
And we will fix it.
They want your curiosity dear,
Your very desire to know,
They want the eyes so full of stars
Empty like the void.
They want the child’s colours gone
Replaced with harsh monochrome-
From the shadows they can rob us better.
They want to take and take and take
With greedy hands and rotten hearts
They poison us
They poison us
They poison us
They are a plague upon us,
This shadow and its allies
And all the many duplicates
And all these cruel fates
And all these many monsters
And all their many faces.
For all the eyes they have
For all the ways they watch,
Crucially they seem to miss
The sparks that burn
With their fuel of apathy
Fire that will consume them.
Something here is rotten
Something here is twisted
Something here is diseased-
But with careful hands
And burning water
Rot can be removed.
